Washoe County School Board votes to investigate the real impact of screen time on students, sparked by parent outcry over the widely used i-Ready program—used for daily lessons and testing from kindergarten through eighth grade. With findings due by November and a full report by February, the board’s decision could determine whether to renew a multimillion-dollar contract.

The outcome could reshape how schools use digital tools in classrooms.
